Harper Valley P.T.A.

               C                   
    I want to tell you all the 
story `bout a Harper Valley widowed 
 C7
wife,
               F
    who had a teenage daughter, who 
attended Harper Valley Junior High.
              C
    Well, her daughter came home one
 afternoon and didn`t even stop to 
play,
                    F              
    and she said, “Mom I, got a 
        G                       
note here from the Harper Valley 
  C
P.T.A.

               C
    Well, the note says, “Mrs. 
Johnson,
    you`re wearing your dresses way 
        C7
too high.
                 F
    It`s been reported you`ve been 
drinking
    and a-running round with men and
 going wild.
             C
    Now, we don`t believe you ought 
to be

    a-bringin` up your little 

 |girl  this way.“ 

             F              
    And it was signed by the 
           G C
“Secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A.“

               C               
    Well,  it happened that the 
P.T.A. was gonna meet that very 
           C7
afternoon,

                     F
    and, boy, were they surprised
    when Mrs Johnson wore her 
mini-skirt into the room.
                C
    And as she walked up to the 
blackboard,

    I can still recall the words she
 had to say.
                   F             
   She said, “I`d like to address 
              G                  
this meetin` of the Harper Valley 
      C
P.T.A."

                  C
    “Now there`s Bobby Taylor 
sittin` there,
    and seven times he`s asked me 
           C7
for a date,
            F
   and Mrs Taylor she seems to use a
 lot of ice whenever he`s away.
             C
    And Mr. Baker, can you tell us, 
why your secretary had to leave this
 town?
                   F
    And shouldn`t widow Jones be 
told
                 G               
    to keep her window shades all 
                   C
pulled completey down."

              C
    “Now Mr. Harper couldn`t be 
here,
    cause he stayed too long at 
                  C7
Kelly`s Bar again,
                 F
    and if you smell Shirley 
Thompson`s breath
    you`ll find, she`s had a little 
nip of gin.
                C
    And then you have the nerve to 
tell me,as a mother,you think that 
I'm not fit.
                    F
    Well, this is just a little 
Peyton Place,
          G                     
    and you`re all Harper Valley 
       C
hypocrites."

             C
    Now I  wouldn`t put you on,
    because it really did, it 
                        C7
thappened just this way,
                 F                 
    that day my momma socked it to 
     G                C
the Harper Valley P.T.A.,
                 F                 
    that day my momma socked it to 
     G                C
the Harper Valley P.T.A.
